"Because a large number of adventurers have disappeared, the guild has become a mess. Even if various emergency missions are issued, due to the fact that the missions themselves are too dangerous and low-level adventurers are worried about their own safety, no one is willing to take them. If you want to invite high-level adventurers to appear, the price is high and it also takes time.
This kind of thing hasn't happened for a long, long time. In the four hundred years since the gate to the demon world was sealed, it can only be counted on one hand.
You are also lucky that you went to an area with few goblins and met the help of Secamens, a leader among the younger generation of adventurers. Otherwise, you would have disappeared like those adventurers, and your life or death is unknown."
The seriousness of the matter was far beyond expectations, and the guards always sighed when they chatted.
After a while, the lady at the front desk came back with a tired look on her face. After instructing the guards to continue receiving adventurers, she spread out a thick stack of documents on the table and began to deal with them nervously. She didn't look like someone who was worth talking to.
At a glance, she saw that she was processing documents for requesting support from nearby high-level adventurers and forming a large temporary adventure group.
Even if this document is approved, it would be difficult to gather people to form a temporary adventure team in such an atmosphere.
Without disturbing the receptionist, Yang Yu walked up to the guard who became the temporary receptionist, applied for a task, and posted it on the task list himself.
[Mission: The Goblin Forest is shrouded in fog. Entering without permission is a dangerous undertaking. During this extraordinary period, I'm sure you're all bored. I'm bored too. As a new adventurer who just debuted, I decided to set up a competition arena to compete with colleagues of the same level. Every D-level adventurer who defeats me will receive a rich reward (500 gold coins).
Of course, it is impossible for me to lose. Don’t get me wrong, I am not targeting anyone, but I am saying that everyone here is garbage.]
As soon as this task was posted, the dull tavern immediately exploded.
"This kid is so arrogant, he simply looks down on us! I remember he just registered as an adventurer yesterday? He actually said that no one among the D-level adventurers can defeat him. Do you know how long I spent in the D-level and still couldn't climb to the C-level? No, I have to teach this kid a lesson today and let him know the cruelty of this society."
"You can get 500G for each fight, and if you lose, you won't lose anything. It would be a waste if you don't take it!"
"It just so happens that I am a little itchy. Since he came to me, I won't be polite."
The strong men rubbed their hands, their eyes burning with anticipation, and took on the task.
Originally, Yang Yu wanted to use this method of increasing experience after reaching a higher level. But now, in order to go deep into the Goblin Forest and perform an emergency mission, he could only risk being defeated and losing money, and forcefully taunted the adventurers present to come up and fight him.
So far, the plan seems to be going smoothly, and many adventurers have expressed their desire to beat him to death.
Because the Adventurer's Guild prohibits private fights, Yang Yu placed the arena in the training ground where adventurers often go.
Many D-level adventurers who did not accept the mission but were curious joined in the fun, intending to wait and see, and then decide whether to participate based on the situation.
The strength of D-level adventurers varies. Some of them have panel attributes that are almost the same as his, while others are almost the same as the members of Secamens' team, reaching the threshold of C-level adventurers.
If he encounters an opponent he can beat, Yang Yu will attack without mercy. If the gap in strength is too great, he will not hesitate to fail and will just fight with him after a few moves before quickly admitting defeat.
At the beginning, it was inevitable to be hard work. Yang Yu lost more than he won and could only watch the gold coins on his body flow out. Fortunately, he didn't feel sorry at all.
Those D-rank adventurers who were originally watching from the stands hoping to make fun of the situation, saw someone holding 500 gold coins with a smug look on his face, so they could no longer suppress their desire to fight and started to challenge each other.
Yang Yu naturally accepted everyone who came.
Gradually, the rules of battle changed to allow one to fight as long as they showed the D-rank adventurer's nameplate, without having to go to the Adventurer's Guild to accept missions.
In fact, many D-level adventurers came here to ridicule Yang Yu. When they saw Yang Yu giving them money so generously, they suddenly realized that Yang Yu actually had other intentions.
This guy is here just to do charity. He just had a very pleasant conversation with the guard. He must have received some secret mission from the knight. In this extraordinary period, he livened up the atmosphere and filled everyone's hearts with hope.
The Adventurer's Guild is really something. They want to give compassion money to us D-level adventurers at the bottom, but they can't bring themselves to do it, so they do this.
As for those who failed, the D-level adventurers present spread their hands and smiled. They couldn't even beat a newcomer who just joined the Adventurer's Guild, so they should change their careers as soon as possible!
Time passed bit by bit, and Yang Yu's physical strength was greatly depleted. Since there was no priest, he could only rely on herbs or potions to recover.
After each game, he would stuff a handful of herbs or potions into his mouth, and then ask Bai Jin to run errands and buy more from the nearby pharmacy.
After many times, Yang Yu had a smell like a medicine jar on his body. He Meng also felt that Yang Yu stinked all over. He lay on Bai Jin's shoulder and was unwilling to get close to Yang Yu again.
"Hey, there's a strange smell on you, as if you were thrown into the strong medicinal soup I made and soaked all over. If you continue like this, you will definitely turn into a human-shaped pill, and you will definitely be chased by monsters in the forest.
If you don’t want to be like that, don’t push yourself too hard.”
Bai Jin wanted to say some words of comfort with a smile, asking Yang Yu to take care of himself, but she accidentally let out a strange laugh and said strange words.
"Thanks for your concern. Don't worry, it will be over soon."
"do you understand?"
"Well, it's okay."
After a day of getting along, Yang Yu basically understood Bai Jin's personality and behavior.
Isn't it just when they are excited or agitated that they say some strange things with their own heart? I have played so many games, and I have seen dead tsunderes before. It is much easier to read the meaning of their words than to read yours.
After swallowing another herb, Yang Yu left the rest area and entered the training ground. After a burp, he looked at the attribute panel and saw a new item in the resistance column: drug resistance +10%.
I ate too many herbs and developed a resistance to them. No wonder it feels like the amount of physical strength that can be restored by each bottle of potion has decreased.
Yang Yu shuddered. If the drug resistance continued to increase and reached 100%, he would probably die from illness and lack of medicine.
It seems that for some resistances, the higher the better.
After exercising, Yang Yu felt much stronger and his level had improved compared to this morning.
More importantly, he also had a clear idea of what skills these people had and knew how to guard against them.
As evening approached, Yang Yu's counterattack finally began.
In every match, he performed with ease, knocking down many people who were confident in their abilities. He ended the battle with eleven consecutive wins, and his experience bar was filled up, and his level exceeded 18 and rose to 19.
